We lost yet again. Three times in a row. For some reason I knew this was coming before we even kicked off for the season. Too much preseason hype. Too high of an expectation.
I am not real happy not so much because we are losing and the season seems to be slipping away, but because some fans are already speaking of the "f" word. Firing, it is. They are discontent with the coaches. Tiller and company have revived our football, literally bring it back to life after many years of dormancy. The fans argue that the coaches fail to bring the program to another level, consistently competing for big ten championship and maybe even for the national title. I agree, to a certain extent. To put Purdue at top ten nationally is not easy, however. We certainly lack the history and prestige to attract top recruits. I know the coaches are working on that. All we got at Purdue is perhaps good academics, which I am proud of. It will take a few more years for us to build a even strong football program. Well... patience... a few losing games definitely shot the title hope, but that should not erode our faith in the coaches and the players.
There is more to football than just winning. I am disappointed every time we loose a game, but I still look forward to seeing every Purdue game.
